    It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

    It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

    One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

    It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

    I found that this anime was quite good! At least its not like 'Twlight' or "dance with devils" with bored vampire stares and a group of guys singing poorly to a girl. This anime was far from that, it actually does give you goosebumps that are kinda sexy in a way and that'll make you be turned on by some of the scenes! I even like the main characters backstory where she is considered a vampire herself but she was actually adopted by a priest. However he asked to stay in the house where the vampire boys live since he was going overseas. I mean, it is interesting in a way that a priest who is "meant" to be vampire haters, can ask vampires to look after his adopted daughter for him. I swear I have never seen an anime have that kind of plot before and that's why I like that this anime is different!I definately wouldn't consider putting this as the top 10 worst anime out there, it's rather one of the goodish ones out there! Dislike this review if you think I'm wrong but I felt it was good enough! That's why I'm giving it a 8/10!

    Diabolik Lovers is one of the worst anime out there due to its' abysmal writing. On the plus side, the animation is incredibly good for something like this. Also, the voice actors really seem to enjoy voicing these guys! As a result, I give it a bonus 2 points. But, it can't make it completely awesome, as the writing and the characters matters. The characters are always feeding on the girl's blood, and that's incredibly gross. Also, the writing seems to be a sadistic twisted version of Twilight. I like it and I loathe it as a result.

    Now a lot of people hate this anime cause they either say its a rape anime or the story is terrible or they just don't understand it all together. Yes the story is confusing unless you have played the game or read the game story line, it is best you do either of those before you watch this anime or for all I care, you can watch this first and read the story line later.Anyway, the story is about Yui Komori, who is your gentle, average 2nd year high school girl, who was raised by her father who happens to be a priest. Her father is sent overseas for work and Yui is left in Japan and is sent to live at the Sakamaki household, which is made up of six brothers, when she arrives, the brothers are not all what she expected, it turns out that they are all vampires.My thoughts on this show. The art work was gorgeous, I loved every detail in this anime, from character design to background work, it was stunning and I loved it. The characters were great, The acting was great and matched each character well. There are some well known actors in this like Yuki Kaji (Eren Jeager from 'Attack on Titan') and Daisuke Hirakawa (Rei Ryūgazaki from 'Free!').The story was OK, like I mentioned earlier, read the game story line or play the game for yourself (game is all in Japanese). The thing that disappointed me, was that each episode only went for 15 minutes each and only had 12 episodes and the ending wasn't the best BUT it wasn't the worst. However even with only 12 15 minute long episodes, some scenes were disturbing enough to nearly make me throw my laptop across the room, the story for the game did the same thing.The English dub for this anime was not bad, it was one that I liked, I did like Maggie's voice for Yui but during biting scenes, I think she made to much pained noises. Christopher Patton did a great job as Ayato, his voice matched the character well. Blake Shepard's voice suited Laito very well, he handled the pervy voice really well. While Corey Hertzog's voice is good, it didn't really suit Kanato's voice, some points he did really well while others, he didn't stand out. Ty Mahany had a great voice match for Shu, his voice was deep and sounded lazy. David Wald's voice really matched Reiji's character, the deep polite voice was great. Josh Grelle's voice was perfect for Subaru, he sounded young as well as tough, and that's the kind of character Subaru is.Anyway, overall I enjoyed it, the anime was made so that people would want to play the game, so that's why it's not the story everyone was hoping for, but like I said earlier, it's best to play the game first. This anime is not for everyone but if you like harem animes, vampires a little romance, disturbing scenes and a fair amount of gore, you may enjoy this one.

    In short: Do not waste your time on this unless you are into boring rape fantasies and being bitten and abused on a daily basis.At first, I thought this looked interesting. The beginning of the first episode when the female protagonist arrives at the house hooked me on and kept me hoping for more of the same... At least for three episode which was when I decided to drop the series.The story is built on a Japanese dating sim for girls with the same name as the series. A girl arrives at an old mystical house to live there after her father has to move because of his job. Inside the house she quickly discovers that the habitants, 7 brothers, are vampires and that she is meant to be their bridal slave. From here on she gets scolded on heir manners at the same time that she is sexually assaulted, bitten and threaten with rape and death constantly, without ever fighting back at all and actually seeming to like it, or at least accept it a bit.Basically, this is a female rape fantasy for female Twilight fans. And yes, it's as sick as it sounds. And quite annoying and boring at the same time. Several of the vampire characters annoys me greatly but most of all, the little whimsy spineless fragile girl protagonist is extremely annoying and adheres to the most man-chauvinist ideas of the past centuries and the fact that this is made for girls just makes it even more pathetic. Not to mention that the entire genre of kitty-punk Gothic vampires and dresses is just sad and removes everything great about vampires and, for me, put this in the same category as Twilight even though the vampires doesn't shine like diamonds here at least (but that's properly the best thing about this series).I understand the need for fiction to outlive taboos and perverted fantasies that we can't, or wouldn't really like to, live out in real life. And up to a certain point, Japanese manga and anime should be applauded for being more liberal and dealing in a safe and unharmful way with such fantasies and pervasion's. But this is just sad. And boring. And especially the fragile girl aspect, as well as the unfolding of social and physically abuse as socially acceptable is both annoying and plain wrong, also in fiction. Already it is hinted that she can find a deeper more satisfying relationship with her would-be rapists and murderers. This slave-mentality (reference to Nietzsche) of accepting abuse is actually a personality trait that can develop in real life with people being routinely abused by the same people that they have the closest relationship with, like incest or a abusive boyfriend, thereby distorting their view of what to expect from a normal relationship. And the way it so unproblematic builds this in together with the male-chauvinism really is what makes this sick and for me, this is basically an example of some problematic aspects of Japanese culture.Again: Do not waste your time on this unless you are in to boring rape fantasies and being bitten and abused on a daily basis. And if that's the case, maybe you should think about getting help.
